About this listen
A refreshingly practical and honest guide that rewrites the script on ADHD
Peter Shankman is a busy guy - a media entrepreneur who runs several businesses, gives keynote speeches around the world, hosts a popular podcast, runs marathons and Iron Mans, is a licensed skydiver, dabbles in angel investing, and is a loving father to his young daughter.
Simply put, he always seems to have more than 24 hours in a day. How does he do it? Peter attributes his unusually high energy level and extreme productivity to his ADHD.
In Faster Than Normal, Shankman shares his hard-won insights and daily hacks for making ADHD a secret weapon for living a full and deeply satisfying life. Both inspiring and practical, the book presents life rules, best practices, and simple but powerful ways to:
- Harness your creative energy to generate and execute your ideas
- Direct your hyperfocus to get things done
- Identify your pitfalls - and avoid them
- Streamline your daily routine to eliminate distractions
- Use apps and other tech innovations to free up your time and energy
Filled with ingenious hacks and supportive self-care advice, this is the positive, practical book the ADHD community has long needed - and is also an invaluable handbook for anyone who's sick of feeling overwhelmed and wants to drive their faster-than-normal brain at maximum speed...without crashing.

Changed my life
Has taught me how my brain works and how to manage it, whereas before I thought I was broken and less intelligent. Above all though this book has given me hope that I can achieve my goals, and now I'm glad that I have ADHD

If open and aware of your condition, this is a MUST read
I liked the content, the delivery, the tips and the humour, if you didn’t get anything useful then you’re not applying the advice given, from day 1 of listening I saw the huge potential for “self help” with strict disciplines and practices.
I immediately began eating better and exercising more and found a huge increase to my faster than normal abilities, also an autistic adhd’er and having discovered some of the skills through undiagnosed self discovery I am aware that it really does come down to Maintanance and discipline.
Product placement was a little off putting and lowered quality, but useful if those things do affect you and worth the discount if relevant to you…
It’s our duty to help others struggling just like he says.

An absolute must-listen, particularly for partners
If you've figured out you've got a touch of ADD, then this book is gold dust. I don't know how it would suit someone at the more extreme full-on ADHD end of the spectrum, but for me, there are some top common sense tips which have helped greatly.
There is a chapter for anyone living with someone with ADD, which you really should play to them. It all makes so much sense.
I particularly liked the use of the "SQUIRREL!" audio bullet points. And overall it's actually very funny.
The only bit that makes me a little uncomfortable is the rather Americanised use of terms like 'gifted', or referring to what I would call 'normal' people as having "slower" brains. To a 'slower brained' person (his words!), this might come across as rather patronising. I guess that's just one of those 'different side of the pond' language things.
If you don't 'get' much of this book, then it's possible you've either not got ADD or have misdiagnosed yourself.
If a whole bunch of stuff rings true and you're left thinking "OMFG that's me" - then this is for you!
But if you're more concerned about whether the author is using a slightly higher voice when reading a female quote, than what he's actually saying, then it's more than likely that you DO have ADD and should be listening more closely to the what is being said.
Well worth a credit!
